302: The Shakespeare Code

302: The Shakespeare Code

William Shakespeare: ROCKSTAR!!

I loved how Shakespeare fancied Martha, and when he starts referring to her in the terms of the time and her face dropped, it made me laugh.
The one thing I wondered about though, was, if I had just hooked up with a Time Lord and found myself actually back in time, would I be expecting a big make-out session if we had to share a bed?
I mean, the Doctor is definitely cute, intriguing, mysterious and yeah even sexy...but I wouldn't be up for snoggin'. That soon, anyway.
Then again, Martha is younger and though she's a med student, she's not above getting her snog on when she can.
The witches were cool, and I loved the idea of Words being a powerful tool and yes, even a weapon.
The first Potter shout-out ("Wait'll you read #7. I cried." was brilliant! I laughed out loud.
The second Potter shout-out (Expeliamus!!!) actually made me clap!
Dang. I love this show.

being involved in my first run at office this year, I TOTALLY understand the power of words. More importantly how they can destroy a campaign. One candidate said something that last week basically cost him the election and we have 7 more weeks to go.

Remember what the Doctor said about Harriet Jones 'looking tired'? Powerful words!

I liked the concept of magic words but I found the execution extremely cheesey.
